Our Vision

To excel as a customer focused one stop information centre for information on Standardization & Quality Management

The Documentation & Information Division of the SLSI is a one stop Information Centre for literature on Standardization and Quality Management.  Being a specialized information center we offer our members a unique collection of resources on Standards and Quality Management. The major part of the collection consists of a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of National, International and Foreign National standards and Technical regulations. Working to standards not only helps organizations in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, but act as a logical extension to the wider implications of safety and security.

It further accommodates a wide range of material including books, periodicals, handbooks, guides etc. mainly on ‘Quality’ and ‘Standardization’ and their  co- fields.

A number of services are offered, designed to meet the critical information requirements of a broad base of customers from the industry, the trade and the general public including those of small and medium size enterprises. Apart from these the normal routine library services are also available.
